Paul’s flavor in today’s reading encourages Christians to seek the well being of others rather than themselves.  In that we are all members of Christ’s body, we exercise our spiritual giftings for the good of the whole … we honor the members who are less attractive … we deny ourselves the gratification of our own appetites to preserve the faith of those less mature.

Jesus came not to be served, but to serve.

DAILY PRAYER;  Lord, forgive my selfishness.  I give myself to help others.

DAILY READING:  1 Cor. 10-2
